If you go see the pediatrician

1) Know what medicines they are on and what the doses are--better yet, bring them with you.
2) Have a clue about their medical history
3) Take their temperature at home (rectally for infants)
4) Know who their regular doctor is
5) Make sure they are immunized on schedule
6) Answer the questions the doctor asks in 10 or fewer words...Don't ramble on about you and your life!
7) Don't say stuff life "If you don't behave, the doctor is gonna give you a shot!" or "The doctor is going to be mad!" Parents who say that make me mad...
